Maybe its just me, but it sure seems like matchmaking is horrible.

I know they changed the grouping system so that pugs arent playing 8 man premades, but now it seems that there are now twice as many premades and all i play against are 4 man premades and sometimes 2 4 man premades or combinations of 2 and 3 man, i almost always play solo so what seems to happen most often is my team runs out gets obliterated and i die last.

Dont get me wrong occationaly ill get a premade on my team and it goes the other way but its not often.

Im not a bad pilot and so its a bit frustrating for me. I supose i can just join a premade myself but sometimes i just want to jump in and play.

Its my opinion that they sould have a complete seperate launch for groups and pugs, that way its much more evenly matched.

Im just ranting so feel free to join in.

Anyone else have any more ideas on how to help fix matchmaking please post.

Apparently, it's getting changed on Tuesday so that 8v8 premades can be a thing, and that 8 premades can only face other 8 premades.

Change is coming. Have patience. We're almost there.

On the 20th yall will have a new matchmaker to complain about. Then again sometime in December. I forget where it was but one of the Devs outlined the matchmaking system they have in mind. Sounded like a normal ready room with map choice, and chat that most games use. I assume that will be added in when they get all the meta stuff/community warfare up and running. http://mwomercs.com/...79-matchmaking/

There's been like 5000 of them today, and we are literally like 3 days away from them deploying separate 8man and pug matchmaking. It's been coming for so long, and I cannot comprehend why now all of a sudden everybody is complaining about the system that is about to go away...

its hard for me to find information on any future development schedules, you would think they would have a cut and paste roadmap that would state all there curent plans and development schedules.

8-man premades were forced to run as 4-man premades. So they broke into two groups and ran as two 4-man premades.

All of them did this.

So yes, this exactly doubled the number of premades out there, and thus doubled your chances of running into one. And a 4-man premade with coordination is still extremely effective, so if your team gets one and you don't, you still get rolled.

And sometimes we'll get put on a team with another premade, so overall it's not that different than facing a full 8-man since the other premades have always been good about coordinating (was a pleasure to play with all you guys that way, btw). On a couple occasions we were placed with a premade from our own outfit, and knew for one match the fun of the full group of 8. On other matches we ended up on opposite sides, and did our utmost to destroy each other.

But yes, the attempt to rescue the pugs from the premades in phase 1 has resulted in twice as many premades around that will still stomp you if you don't step up your teamwork.

Hey, I'd much rather be playing right now, but it's friday night, so as usual, I can't play 2 matches without 'server conection lost', so here I am, ranting away

I'm amazed.
How can it happen twice as often, when it's well known that 90% of PUG matches before the 4-man limitation were against pre-mades.
That's 180 of every 100 games vs 4man groups now!

i believe getting pony holed is a bit more accurate than stomped.
